    Review Information

    Review Type TSMA Review
    Start Date null
    Completed null
    Status Complete
    Review Recommendation No Resolution Given
    Review Response
    The pseudo-languages provided with VSX may need modification for some
    systems. In particular, pseudo-language VSX4L0 is set up to be a language
    in which the language constants are unavailable. As is pointed out on Page
    108 of the VSX User and Installation Guide, it may not be possible for all
    systems to make the decimal_point language constant unavailable and, in this
    case, the decimal_point language constant should be set to ".".

    Once this correction is made to the pseudo-language, the test should execute
    correctly and the need for a waiver will be avoided.

    It is recommended that this request is refused.
